I'm sure a lot of you have done this, but being new to the truck world I am wondering how difficult it is? Will there be much of a modification to lengthen/shorten the housing on the 9" to fit the wheelbase of the truck?

Give me your insights. Thanks!

All you could ever want to know about it. Good luck with your truck.

 

It's surprising what isn't in that article. I thought there was a sticky that described the wedges needed to correct pinion angle; the special U-joint to adapt the tock driveshaft to the 9"s yoke; and some dope on how to build a new lower shock mount? We ought to capture that stuff and add it to the linked article.

Here an old thread I found
